Very inexpensive and easy to cook, morning glory (commonly referred to as kangkong) is an ideal ingredient for a quick-cook dish. Remember not to overcook the veggies so that they remain crisp. The chicharon pieces add a pleasing crunch to the dish.
You will need:
300 grams morning glory (kangkong), stems and leaves separated
5 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
2 tablespoons shrimp paste (bagoong)
4 teaspoons vinegar
2 teaspoons water
2 pieces pork crackling (chicharon), chopped coarsely
Here’s how:
Saute’ minced garlic in oil until fragrant then stir-fry bagoong.
Add kangkong stems and cook until bright green in color. Add kangkong leaves and cook until wilted.
Immediately pour vinegar and water into the pan. When mixture boils, transfer to a plate and top with chicharon pieces.
